Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 5, 1915.

Application led August 15, 1914. Serial No. 856,901.

' To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM SONDAGK, a subject of the Emperor of Russia, residing in the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of New York, have invented an Improvementin Bedpost-Brackets, of which the' following is a specification.

My present invention relates to a bed post bracket, and is an improvement upon the bed post bracket shown and described in my co-pending application, Serial No. 823,329, filed March 9, 1914, for Letters Patent for a similar invention.

`The object of my present invention is the provision of a bed post bracket of stronger construction andA less costly to manufacture than the one shown and described in my application aforesaid.

In carrying out my present invention, the improved bed post bracket preferably comprises spaced side members which are separated by suitable spacers so as to provide a socket forithe reception of a recessed hook member, the recess between the tong'portions of which is adapted to receive one of the spacers between the side members of the member in the present construction being bracket, and thebracket, like the one shown in my aforesaid co-pending application, is adapted to be secured by a pin and loop member to the post of a bedstead, the loop secured to and preferablymade integral with one of the spacer members. In :my present bed postrbracket, I also prefer to provide the spacer member, to which the loop is secured, with a projection extending through one of the side members and adapted to lie against the face of thedownturned portion of a flange on the said side member, in order that the rails extending between the posts may be secured thereto. r

In the drawing, Figure 1 is a side eleva` tion and partial cross section illustrating the bed post bracket made in accordance with my present invention. Fig. 2 is a plan and partial cross section of the same. Fig. 3 is a partial cross section and plan illustrating a modified form of the invention, and Fig. 4 is a perspective View of a spacer member, to which the loop is secured.

Referring to the drawing, and particularly to Figs. 1, 2 and 4, my improved bed post bracket preferably comprises suitably shaped side members 10 and 11. Along corresponding edges, which are upright` when the bracket is set in position, the side members are provided with out-turned flanges 12 and 13. These, as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, are curved to conform to the outline of the bed post to which the bracket is secured. The side member 11 is provided with a flange 14:, along its upper edge, and also along the lower portion o-f the side edge opposite the flange 13 with a flanged portion 15. Similarly, the side member 10, at its upper edge, is provided with a flange 16, the rear portion of which is extended, as indicated at 17', and has a flange 18 at right angles thereto and extends downward when the bracket is in position for use. Between the side members, and along the forward flanged edges, I employ a spacer 19. As shown in Figs. l, 2 and 4;, this spacer member is provided with a loop 20, made integral therewith, and adapted to enter a recess provided therefor in the post of the bed to which the bracket is to be secured. The spacer 19 is also provided with a projection 21, which extends through an aperture provided therefor in the side member 10, and is adapted to lie against the downwardly extending flange 18. rIhe side members 10 and 11, and the spacer 19, are secured together by means of rivets 22, or otherwise. The side members 10 and 11, as will be understood, are notched, as indicated at 23, to receivethe adjacent porw tions of the loop member 20. I also employ a spacer 24 lying against the inner face of thev flange 15, and secured in position between the side members 10 and l1 by rivets 25. or otherwise.

The bed post bracket constructed as hereinbefore described, provides a socket between the side members and the spacers lying between the same for the reception of Va hook 27, a portion of which is recessed so as to provide tongues 28 and 29 therein, the spacer 24 and the flange 15 being received in the recess in the hook member, with the tongue 28 lying between the spacers and the intermediate portions of the side members, while the tongue 29 is exterior of the side members and its inner face is in contact with the outer face of the flange 15. The hook 27 is suitably connected to the side rails of the bedstead, one of which is indicated at 30.

31 indicates a rail connecting the head or foot posts of a bedstead, which, at its ends, is connected to the bracket by rivets 32 and 33, or otherwise, the rivet 32 passing through the extension fiange 17, and the rivet 38 through the projection 21, and the depending flange 18, in order to secure the rail 31 in position.

The curved flanges 12 and 13 are preferably fitted with a lining 26, in order to present a uniform surface against the posts to which the bracket is secured. The bed post bracket is indicated at 34, and as hereinbefore stated, the bracket is secured in position therein by passing theloop member 2O through an aperture provided therein and passing a pin 35 through the eye in the loop interiorly of the posts.

As shown in Fig. 3, instead of being curved, the edge fianges of the side members 10 and 11, may be formed at right angles thereto, as indicated at 36 and37, respectively, so as to be fitted to conform in outline to theysurface of a fiat sided post, as indicated at 88, otherwise the construction of the modified form of the invention is the same as there hereinbefore described.

I claim as my invention- 1. A bed post bracket comprising a pair of side members, fianges at corresponding edges of the said side members and adapted to conform to the surface of a bed post to which the bracket is to be connected, spacers for separating the said side members, providing a socket between the Vsame for the reception of a hook provided with a recess into which one of the said spacers fits, and

a loop member integral with the other spacer and adapted to enter a recess provided therefor in the bed post.

2. A bed post bracket comprising a pair of side members, flanges at corresponding edges of the said side members and adapted to conform to the surface of a bed post to which the bracket is to be connected, flanges at the upper edges of the said side members and which are adapted to have rails secured thereto, spacers for separating the said side members, providing a socket between the same for the reception of a hook provided with a recess into which one of the said spacers fits, and a loop member integral Copies of this patent may be obtained for ve cents each, by addressing Washington, l).

post to which the bracket is to be connected,

a fiange at the upper' edge of one of the said side members, a flange at the upper edge of the other side member having a parallel extension and a portion depending at right.

angles thereto and which are adapted to have a rail secured thereto, spacers for separating the said side members providing a socket between the same for the reception of a hook in which there is a recess for one of the said spacers, and a loop integral with the other spacer' and adapted to extend into a recess provided therefor in the bed post.
